#No RFC AFAIK. It's a UDP-based file transfer that is designed to tax the
#server a whole lot less than FTP. Implementations are a bit wobbly, and,
#because it has so little effect on system resources, it's very popular
#amongst pirates, etc.
Well, that's not the only reason it's popular; both the server and the
client(s) provide for easy methods to locate on any port. Thus, it (a) sits
anywhere, is (b) easy to implement, and is (c) not a cpu hog.
